The great folks at WildRescue, Inc./Rabbit Rescue have important news about squirrel-fall season. Here is what to do and what not to do:
1. Squirrel has fallen from its nest - what do I do?
ANSWER: put the baby in a small box lined with something soft up on a chair or table directly underneath the tree it fell out of. Mom should come down and retrieve it in a short amount of time. NEVER wait more than 4 hours.
2. There are babies on the ground but it’s been over 4 hours and mom hasn’t come to ge them.
ANSWER: please gather them up into a shoebox lined with a T-shirt and bring them inside your garage so that the ambient temperature stays the same. Neonate squirrels cannot thermoregulate and need help staying warm. Please call the DFW Wildlife Hotline at (972) 234-9453.
3. There are baby squirrels on the ground and they are covered in ants! What do I do?
ANSWER: IMMEDIATELY brush off the ants and get the babies put into a shoebox lined with a T-shirt and put in your garage until you have found a Rehabber to take them to.
4. There are babies on the ground and I see mom but she isn’t coming down to get them.
ANSWER: gather all of the babies into a shoebox lined with a T-shirt and put them up on a chair or table directly under the tree that they fell out of and go back inside. In all likelihood mom is desperate to retrieve her babies but there is too much commotion going on. Give her space and time please.
5. I found some babies can I feed them? ANSWER: NO!!! Please do not attempt to feed baby anything unless you are under direct supervision from a wildlife rehabilitator.
Mom does not abandon her babies. She has nest A, B and C ready to go should she deem the current nest uninhabitable now. You need to give her time to move them. Obviously if it is over 4 hours and there is no sign of her then a Rehabber needs to be contacted.
Because of the heat many baby things will be falling right now. Please be kind and thoughtful in how you approach any situation. Their lives will depend on how you responsibly respond to the situation. Your dog or cat need to be constrained so that other lives can survive.
It is a myth that if you touch an animal or bird that the mother will abandon them. But it is always a very good idea to wear gloves when handling any form of wildlife.
Please call the DFW Wildlife Hotline at (972) 234-9453
It’s that time of year…
Young shoppers…
So I had heard rumors… and then today I could not believe I was witness: crossing Cedar street, a white, sometimes called blonde, squirrel. Just to note: I don’t favor “tree rats”, but it was exciting to see.
In 2011 the Historic Downtown Advisory Board created the Downtown Vision which became the road map for the Complete Streets project. In January of 2020, City Council approved the Downtown Complete Streets Master Plan and funding for Phase 1 Construction. The purpose for

Mother’s Day!...
National Small Business week is the first week of May. Show local businesses some love with these fun activities all week long!
A significant number of small business owners lost a day of business yesterday due to a long power outage, Friday’s are a serious day. Please consider helping small business in the downtown to 67 area by shopping and dining today (and all days)!
Downtown residences, not pressured by formal gardens and more conservative on waters, usually allow wild dandelion to feed the bees and even harvest young leaves for salads, along with nature’s other beneficial plants.
Old town like much of Cedar Hill has always had regular interaction with wildlife. Please observe and share info so our wildlife can be assessed sufficiently in response to the heavy and prolonged freeze.

Some have had to wait patiently for snow...
What a great morning to see a pair of coyotes relaxing at the corner of Beltline and Main. They have been spotted before on different days. One came across at The Purple Farmhouse, perfect for a couple of photographs.

which is normal this time of year when you step out onto your porch and hear the band practice at the nearby High School. In this time where nothing is normal, and knowing even band practice probably has different protocols, the sound gives a moment of hope and moving forward.
Visit Shona African Sculptures in the Old Towne Market for a selection of sculptures with new shipments arriving regularly.
We’ve all had plenty of time to find ourselves. Call Salon on the Square to make an appointment!
It is common practice to tear down old tin buildings and Cedar Hill has set itself apart in loving this old treasure. It has many stories in the generations that have used it. -And of course everyone loves the fading murals. What will it be for the coming generation?
Our chamber is beyond the norm as they have numerous resources, educational opportunities, and they advocate for Cedar Hill well beyond our borders into North Texas. And if you need to just talk one on one to decide how to get involved, they are very personable.
Also there is some history with this location, if someone can help me out...
So I am telling you early-make plans for the chicken Salad. It is the best and runs out every time!
Phat Girlz BBQ
Main St just off Beltline.
2 shops in one- Cheeky Cactus and Chick Ashby Yarn Shop. It’s a good time to shop for Summer vacation wardrobe or specialty yarns for new projects!
Our town library - downtown and by hwy 67, has some amazing stats. They continuously host events for all age groups and interest, and found ways to engage even during Covid19. All this while planning a new facility coming soon (and still close by).
If you are wondering what type of museum... It is Cedar Hill’s all things History. This is a temporary location right in our own neighborhood. They have all types of artifacts, displays, and volunteers sharing the stories of our town. You can view some of their collections at city Hall within the glass showcases as well.
If it is past time for your haircut.... Cedar Hill Barbers on the square is located inside the old bank building with a story worth checking out.

Neighborhood share- in case you have not seen, Mr Covington is teacher of the year (Waxahachie)- Congratulations! Also worth noting here is the Covington’s practice a form of xeriscaping that limits turf and waste (water and labor) encouraging more foliage of flowers, herbal, or food.

Babe’s Chicken has created quite a system
Downtown for pick up of a good home style meal, during this time. They are also opened for seating, or if your in walking distance you can walk up and order to go.
Babe’s sits in the middle of our square, a building that was once City Hall and held the fire Department, and someone said the beginning library too!
It was great to see people walk, visiting, and even some driving their cars through to stop and say hello. And for the people who waved from their porch a Hello as we walked by, Thank you too.
